Feed 219 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Faisalabad
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Faisalabad is running low just as demand rises; $400 will stock it for 12 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 219 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Faisalabad market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $400 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $135
• Refrigeration and electricity: $35
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Mehwish. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Faisalabad.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mehwish?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about fresh vegetables and fruit, advice is welcome too. Good question.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Casablanca this morning. Love from Casablanca.
How is Mehwish doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Mehwish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Take care, Mehwish. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Hialeah.
You're not alone, Mehwish. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 29 people at work. God bless.
Rooting for you. More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Mehwish. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Thanks for sharing this, Mehwish. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together.
Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Faisalabad.
